Hi Saneesh,

Generally it would be the Major time.
But it depends a bit on your location, weather, tide times, targeted fish species, etc.

Best to try both and see which works best for each spot.
Also if you're land-based, it's always a good idea to pick either a major or minor just before sunrise or just after sunset.
If it's shallow water you're fishing in, bigger fish might come in closer to shore under to cover of dark.

Although I've caught pretty big snapper in very shallow water in the middle of the day during major or minor times.
I usually kayak fish around shallow reefs in water depths between 2 - 15 meters.


cheers
